Hi guys, I need advice.
I bought a rather snazzy looking carbon fibre after market shifter
but when fully screwed on, it does not screw on the shifting rod all
the way down and so I am left with the exposed rod and some
threads, as well as the unfinished top of the leather boot.
It seems as though there is some sort of threaded plastic holder for
the boot underneath it. Would the best course of action be to try and
raise that up ? If so, any idea on how I would go about doing that ?
Do I have to take out the centre console panels ?
Or will I have to do something drastic like take a dremel and a cutting
wheel and slice off some of the excess threading on the shift rod ?
Thanks in advance !

P.S. Got my vibrant exhaust in today. Even my mechanic says it looks
slick and was a no brainer install, and the growl, oh the growl.
(insert happy dance here)
